The next episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season Four introduces a former competitive gymnast and high school cheerleader from Tulsa, OK. who vowed to do a back handspring every year on her birthday until she turned 60. At her current weight of 315 pounds, however, that feat is impossible.

Georgeanna is the wife of a pastor and the mother of two daughters. Often referred to as “Martha Stewart” by her family and friends, for whom she bakes, decorates, sews and crafts, Georgeanna neglected taking care of herself and is now more than 150 pounds overweight. This episode documents Georgeanna’s year-long physical and emotional journey.

New in Season Four, each “Extreme Weight Loss” participant spends the first 90 days of his or her weight loss journey at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC) in Aurora, CO.
